How Will People Make Money in the AI Age?

OpenAI DevDay: Dots, Agents & $100B Opportunities
I watched almost 60 minutes of Sam Altman on stage at OpenAI Dev Day 2026. Out of 20-plus launches, I pick the three or four that I think can make people billions of dollars in aggregate.

I also share my four-step framework for building in this world and two busi
$5T opportunity: AI Roll Ups
In this solo episode, I break down the $5 trillion wave of small businesses set to change hands as their owners retire, and why AI agents make this wave a real opening for solo founders. I walk through how Thrive Holdings and General Catalyst buy accounting firms, property managers, and support centers, then run AI agents inside them to lift margins. Then I show how I'd run a one-person holding co

In this solo episode, I break down the huge business opportunity because Meta has opened Muse, its personal AI agent, to developers.

Instinct AI: The AI Assistant for normal people
I sit down with Remy to go through Instinct, the new invite-only personal agent that runs inside iMessage. Remy shares his raw chat history on screen: a haircut booking in Copenhagen, a restaurant reservation, a Bali visa on arrival, and an Emirates Skywards sign-up. We cover the parts that impress us, the points where the agent hits a wall, and the privacy questions that stay open. By the end of
Building a Software Factory that actually works (Full Course)
Get Your Complete Financial OS at https://startup-ideas-pod.link/brex_SIP
I welcome Ras Mic back to the pod to explain the phrase "software factory." Mic shares his screen and walks through the exact system that he runs today. His factory has four steps: isolate, build, prove, and ship. He keeps the whole system in five or six markdown files, so it works with any model and any harness. By the end
You're using GPT-6 Astra WRONG
I talk with Ras Mic about GPT-6 Astra. We skip the game demos and the 3D toys, and we focus on use cases to earn money or improve products. I share 9 Astra prompts that I posted publicly, and Greg Brockman reposted. Ras then shows his hardware project: he moved from a speaker idea to a parts list, a Blender layout, and merged code in about 30 minutes. The takeaway is simple: use this model for the
Local AI Clearly Explained
I run this episode solo. I explain local AI in plain terms: the model runs on hardware I control, and a cloud model runs somewhere else. I map the four pieces of the local AI landscape — the model, the warehouse, the software, and the workflow — and I define the words that beginners meet first: parameters, tokens, context window, quantization, and GGUF. I walk through the Google open model stack (
These 5 Github Repos are a goldmine
On this solo episode, I review five free, open source GitHub repos that help you build products, make money, or save time: Peter Yang's No AI Slop Skill, the CRM by TryComp AI, Video Use by browser use, SkillSpector by NVIDIA, and Phone Harness. For each repo I explain what it does, why it matters, how to install it, and the first small workflow to try. I close with a simple three-step method: ins
Making $$$ as a Marketing Engineer
In this solo episode I explain a role that I call the marketing engineer. I believe this person becomes one of the most valuable hires in tech in the next 18 to 24 months. I define the job, I show the four eras of marketing that lead to it, and I give the tool stack that makes it work. I use a commercial HVAC software company as a worked example, and I list six systems that a marketing engineer bu
WebMCP clearly explained (and how to make $$)
Vinny is back on the pod, and he explains WebMCP. WebMCP puts MCP tools inside the browser UI, so any agent that you bring can read a page and act on it. Vinny demos an espresso gear store where his agent compares two machines, checks the counter width, matches accessories, adds an item to the cart, and applies a coupon. Together we map the agent-native options, from headless APIs to in-app agents

How to use Claude Code better than 99% of People

These AI Marketing Agents Get You Customers
I bring Cody Schneider back on the show to build two marketing agents end to end, live.

The second one turns internal conversations, sales calls, and podcast transcr
Graph Engineering Clearly Explained
I go solo on this one to break down graph engineering, the term I keep seeing go viral on X. I define it in plain English: prompt engineering is how you ask AI a better question, context engineering is how you give AI better information, and graph engineering is how you design the work around the AI so it lives as a managed workflow instead of one giant chat. I walk through the vocabulary (jobs, a
Jack Dorsey's Buzz: The New Hermes Agent?
I sit down with Vinny for a live tour of Buzz, an open source, agent-native chat app from Block built on an open protocol. Vinny makes the case that openness is the real story here: agents arrive as first-class teammates, the harness underneath each agent swaps freely between Claude Code, Codex, Goose, and open code, and your entire chat context travels with you through every swap. He demos real o
How I use Claude Code + MCPs to run my marketing
Cody Schneider is back on the podcast, and I ask him to lay out what a real marketing agent looks like once you get past the hype. He draws a hard line: an agent owns unified business data, runs on a cadence, and improves from the results it reads back. We use one concrete business as the sandbox — an AI-first product built on top of WordPress — and Cody walks the entire stack behind a Facebook ad

We race Grok 4.5 against GPT 5.6 Sol, t

We build a small SaaS app live, called Turnaround, and use it to explore why maintenance is
AI Agents are the new SaaS
In this solo episode I lay out why I believe building agents is the new SaaS: software is shifting from helping you do the work to doing the work with you. I walk through a full playbook — find a niche, pick a workflow with a paycheck attached, shadow the human, spec the agent, build the minimum useful version, sell a pilot like labor, then productize the repeatable parts. I share live market exam
“Learn AI” Is Bad Advice. Learn These Instead

Claude Fable 5 is BANNED. What to do?
In this solo episode, I walk through the implications of the ban of Claude Fable 5 — the most powerful model on the planet and the one I planned to build with — after the US government sent Anthropic a letter. I make the case for local AI by walking through the benefits: intelligence that lives on your own hardware, stays private, runs free after the hardware cost, and keeps working through bans,
